Colorectal cancer accounts for approximately 10% of all annually diagnosed cancers and cancer-related deaths worldwide. It is third most common cancer diagnosed in men. In women, incidence and mortality are approximately 25% lower than in men. These rates also vary geographically, with the highest rates seen in the most developed countries. With continuing progress in developing countries, the incidence of colorectal cancer worldwide is predicted to increase to 2.5 million new cases in 2035 (Dekker et al., 2019).
